-Caveat Lector- Thew sets up a straw man argument. IN no way will anwr be able to pump enough to supply to entire US. At most 1 maybe 1.5 million barrels/day (the capacity of the exiting pipline system) so 1. million barrels/day out of an estimated 10.5 Billion Barrels (at 1997 technology, and $27/bbl with 7 years of advancement in technology and $60/bbl probably a whole lot more available) will certainly last a whole lot longer than thew false straw man argument.

We consume over 20 million barrels a day ( the latest figure i found on a quick internet search was 20,517,000 per day) that works out to 7.488.705,000 barrels a year. so if we use your conservative figure that is a year and a half of oil. even if we use your higher figure that works out to less than 6 years worth of oil. and all these numbers are contingent on out oil consumption staying at the same level - which it has never done. not really all that much oil. a million barrels a day is less than 5% of our consumption. that is why i don't think it's a worthwhile tradeoff. it doesn't solve our problems. It barely impacts our problems. It is mere window dressing, so the oil companies can pretend there isn't a real problem to deal with, while they rake in record profits as our population has to make choices like heat the home or feed the kids.
